Many cancer-related deaths could be prevented each year by early detection. Some cancers can take years to develop. Catching the growth of cancerous cells in the early stages can stop this detrimental disease from developing.

Even though routine cancer screening procedures are widely available and effective, many do not go to have them. However, the best way to prevent most cancers is early detection. Here is what you can do to spot cancer while it is still in the early stages:

1. Undergo the appropriate screening.

Colon: Doctors recommend that men and women begin having routine colonoscopies at the age of 50.

Prostate: Men should begin having baseline PSA (prostate specific antigen) screening at the age of 50. These tests should be repeated at least every two years.

Breast: After the age of 40, women should have yearly mammograms.

Cervix: Between the ages of 21 and 65 women should have a Pap smear every year. Once you have had three negative Pap smears, your doctor might recommend that you have them less frequently.

2. Limit the risk factors you can.

Many of the factors that impact your risk for developing cancer are out of your control. However, there are lifestyle changes you can make right now that will actually prevent the development of certain cancers.
